More news from Boston:
due to Patriot's day (yet another idiosyncratic Massachusetts monday holiday,
this one commemorating the battle of Lexington and Concord), tax day was
yesterday here.
While the main central post office at South Station is under renovation,
the tax forms, assistance, and this-day-till-midnight hand-stamped cancellation are
in the main station waiting room where, for
whatever reason, things seem to be just a bit lower key. There's chamber
music, and not a jazz band; more regrettably, no one gives out free donuts.
(Or maybe they showed up later, and I just didn't procrastinate enough).
